A blank is a surgical procedure which removes some or all of a woman’s reproductive organs. These organs, which include the uterus, ovaries, cervix and fallopian tubes, are located in a woman’s lower abdomen. The ovaries produce eggs and hormones, the cervix is at the lower end of the uterus, the fallopian tubes transport eggs from the ovaries to the uterus, and the uterus is where the baby grows during pregnancy.

Vagotomy

Front 24

A surgical procedure. When a surgeon performs a blank, he ties off damaged veins in the patient's leg. When several of the valves in the vein are damaged, a doctor can remove them in a procedure called stripping. However, if the ligation closes off a problematic valve in the vein, but there are still healthy valves below the damaged valve, the vein can be left in place. This allows blood to continue circulating through other veins that still have adequate valves.
